“Kṛṣṇa! You declared that those who do not look upon the perceptible world as the world, but think of it as the Paramātma and come to know it so, they alone are ‘knowers of the Veda’. You Yourself taught that the world, the effect, is not different from its cause. How can that be? The visible world grows and decays; the Paramātma is eternal, true and stainless, and stays unmoving. Can fire and water ever be joined? Tell me on what the oneness of the two rests. I shall hear it and rejoice.” So Arjuna voiced his doubt.
